The Hertzsprung-Russell diagram was a valuable tool for helping astrophysicists work out the stellar life cycle. Arrange all the stars by color (frequency) from left to right, with the bluest on the left and the reddest on the right. Then sort these all by size from top to bottom, with the largest on top.

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was an astronomer from India who determined the process of how stars form, shine, age, and die, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on that subject.

The gas surrounding a star at the end of its life cycle is called a "nebula." This nebula is composed of gas and dust that can eventually condense under gravity to form new stars. The process of star formation from a nebula involves the collapse of these materials, leading to the birth of new stars and planetary systems.

How do you think scientists figure out the life cycle of a star?

Astronomers are studiyng star for centuries, and nowadays they discovered many new aspects related to the life cycle of a star, due to modern equipments, notably the space telescopes, like the Hubble. The space exploration, and new important discoveries will take place on the next decade, about stars, galaxies and the Universe expansion theory.
